The wildcard Mia Pohankova continues a strong run in Wuhan by facing the unseeded Maria Sakkari. This third round showdown is their first career meeting. Both players have done well on hardcourts lately and our prediction tips them to play out three sets.
Pohankova is through to the third round at a WTA 1000 event for the first time. The teenage star has been in terrific form and has shown a desire to fight until the very end. She showed tenacity in her last match, which lasted three hours.
The Slovak dug her heels in to eliminate crowd favourite Wang Xiyu in three sets. She has now won 29 matches this season, 11 in 15 hard court outings. Following her latest win, Pohankova has shot up more than 50 places in the live ranking and is now ranked 146th.
Maria Sakkari also needed three sets to win her second-round tie. The Greek star, who is competing in Wuhan for the first time since 2018, defeated Marta Kostyuk.
She fought her way from losing the opening set to the second seed, and confirmed the win in little over two hours. Sakkari has made it to a WTA 1000 final four times, winning once.
Advancing to this round has nudged Sakkari three places to 32nd in the live ranking. The 31-year-old has had a rocky season and so far has won 25 of 25 fixtures.
